Armed with a chalkboard, a pen and
paper, Borromeo will serve out his one-game suspension by scouting the
opposition from the comfort of the stands.
“I will be there on the stands, being
more of a scout, and taking notes of the game, probably with a chalkboard. This
will be a good experience,” said Borromeo after one of the team’s daily
practices at the Rizal Memorial football grounds.
Borromeo and Fil-German Stephan Schrock
were penalized during the second leg of the Philippines-Sri Lanka match last
July 3 with their second yellow cards and will therefore miss the first leg of
the Philippines-Kuwait face off due to their one-game suspension.
Nevertheless, the two will still join
the trip to the Middle East .
